Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Westfield, MA.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Westfield offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that many individuals may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with individuals who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
